Advanced Energy System Modeling & Optimization

Our research group has extensive expertise in developing energy system models using cutting-edge tools, including:

⚡ Anymod & Julia-Based Modeling:

• We have developed multi-scale energy models for smart grid optimization, renewable energy planning, and hydrogen integration using Anymod and Julia.

• These models support scenario analysis, capacity expansion planning, and energy dispatch optimization in various energy sectors.

Economic & Optimization Models:

• We apply techno-economic modeling for renewable energy projects, assessing the cost-effectiveness of hybrid energy systems, green hydrogen pathways, and decentralized microgrids.

• Our team has built linear and nonlinear optimization models to evaluate investment decisions, pricing strategies, and energy market scenarios for off-grid and grid-connected systems.

Policy & Stakeholder Engagement:

• We integrate economic feasibility analysis and policy modeling into our research, ensuring that energy solutions are not only technically viable but also economically sustainable and aligned with local policy frameworks.

Our Cutting-Edge Projects:

MG-FARM (Microgrid Farms) – LEAP-RE Project (Algeria & Morocco):

• Developed micro and macro energy models to optimize farm-based microgrids, ensuring cost-efficient and sustainable energy supply.

• Produced policy recommendations and stakeholder engagement reports for renewable energy adoption.

⚡ Swarm Grids for Rural Electrification (Uganda & Kenya):

• Designed and implemented swarm grid models for rural communities, leveraging distributed energy resources to enhance off-grid electrification.

• Conducted economic feasibility assessments to ensure cost-effective solutions for local energy access.

PRIMA Project – Enhancing Water Accountability (Jordan, Turkey, Morocco, Tunisia):

• Integrated smart energy and water management solutions to address sustainability challenges in water-scarce regions.

• Developed optimization frameworks to enhance water and energy efficiency in agriculture and industrial applications.

IDEAL4GREEN – MSCA Horizon Europe Project (2025-2028):

• We are part of IDEAL4GREEN (Building decentralIsed, DistributEd And Local micro-GRids for dEcarbonisation Electrification challeNge), a prestigious EU-funded project advancing next-generation microgrids for decarbonization.

• Recruiting 15 PhD candidates to develop state-of-the-art modeling and optimization tools for microgrid operation, green hydrogen production, and renewable energy integration.
